She was amazing watching our pups. We got pictures every single day and updates. She arrived on time and let us know. When she left. She cleaned up after herself. I would recommend her to anybody that's looking for in-house dog sitting. She is definitely reliable.

About: I bring 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, senior pet support, and puppy care. Families trust me for reliability, compassion, and skill. I have experience with working breeds, especially Belgian Malinois, and understand their need for structure, mental stimulation, and consistent training. I focus on safety, structured routines, and individualized attention to ensure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, special needs, advanced training, or playtime, I provide consistent, loving service that gives you peace of mind. I am currently in school and have flexible availability between classes, which allows me plenty of time to care for your pet with consistency and attention. What pet doesn’t love a little attention—whether it’s a pat, belly rub, or playtime? I care for my pets as if they are true family members. That care comes with balance: while love and play are essential, boundaries and structure are just as important for most animals to thrive. My approach blends affection, routine, and respect, ensuring pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for. I carry these guiding principles in caring for animals both inside and outside my own home

Paige was great with our crazy doodles. She let us know when she had arrived, sent photos and asked great questions to be sure the crazy ones kept to their regular schedule. They were happy and healthy when we got home and the house was clean and tidy. We will definitely call again if we need dog care.

About: My name is Corey. I'm a retired Air Force dog handler. We currently have babies of our own and know how difficult it is to find a sitter. I would be more than happy to meet you and your babies to see if it would be a good fit to give you peace of mind so you too can find time to get away. Very happy to sit all types of animals. I am used to special diets and administering medications. I am a retired air force dog handler and have raised and trained and taken care of animals my entire life. I am used to taking care of animals with special needs and requiring medications at feeding times. Depending on what the customer is requesting, I can take care of the pets in their home. As a retired air force police officer, you can rely on safety and security and feel comfortable allowing me into your home.

I had never heard of or used rover.com before and I'm so glad I did. Dawn kept Herbie (my precious mini doxie) happy and healthy for 7 days -- no small feat, except his feet ;-) I was so pleased that he was able to stay at home, without the stress of a kennel, and enjoy the company of someone who cares as much as I do for my little buddy. Even through tornado watches and horrible weather she was steadfast in her commitment. I would definitely recommend Dawn and request her services again.

About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.

Eva is a reliable, committed and efficient dog caregiver and house sitter. We have three male dogs over 100 pounds each and as soon as Eva came over to meet them, I knew she was a perfect match for our boys. She is compassionate about animals and her love and experience show in the attentive care that she provides. Eva sent several pictures and kept us updated throughout our absence. I highly recommend Eva to anyone seeking a dependable and caring sitter for their pets. I am very happy and worry free knowing she is with our boys when we are away.

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.

About: I have been watching dogs since I was 8 years old. I have bred German Shepherd puppies most of my life with my family. Dogs are my passion and I love them lots! Would love to watch yours! Love working in The Villages as well! I work remote so I have the ability to watch dogs and even sit with them for a while and let them roam around while I work. I can stay at your house or just do drop ins if you’re more comfortable with that! Would love to talk on the phone prior and introduce myself! Thanks I would rather go to the owners house as I rent and my landlord does not allow pets right now. I do watch animals at my parents house!

About: I grew up around a large variety of animals, including (but not limited to) many large dogs, many small dogs, a ton of cats, and lizards! I've been in charge of taking care of animals for as long as I can remember with my first dog. I've been pet sitting for neighbors and family since I was old enough to be home alone. I absolutely adore all animals and caring for them! I'm good at giving medicine to dogs in particular, and I'm decent at giving it to cats. I have no experience administering medication to other types of animals. I have vast experience with dogs and cats, and while I only have some experience with other types of pet, I am very good at following precise care instructions. My schedule is currently open besides 12/24/25-12/25/25, 12/31/25-01/01/26, and 1/19/26-1/23/26. I may have more restrictions in late January to early February. I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I will care for your pets based on their specific needs in your home. If you have an energetic dog, I would love to play with them! If you have a snuggly cat or dog, I can just hang out with them! I can give your pets their medications at your instruction, and will abide by any rules you have for your pets. My goal is to keep them safe and happy!

This was our first time using rover and we had such a great experience with Patty! Her communication was excellent. We really appreciated the adorable pictures she sent throughout the stay; it was so comforting to see our pets happy and well cared for. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again- highly recommend!
